Bmi1 polyclonal antibody Background :
In Drosophila, Polycomb (Pc-g) gene family encodes chromatin proteins that are required for the repression of homeotic loci in embryonic development. Mel-18 and Bmi-1, mammalian homologs of Drosophila Pc-g group proteins, are similarly expressed during development and implicated in the regulation of gene expression, axial skeleton development, control of proliferation and survival of haematopoietic cells. Mel-18 directly binds to DNA through a RING-finger motif and preferentially associates with juxtaposed enhancer elements on various genes, including Bcl-2, c-Myc and Hox. Mel-18 is an immediate early response gene within the c-Myc/Cdc25 signaling cascade that exhibits tumor suppressor activity and negatively regulates cell cycle progression by blocking S phase entry. Alternatively, Bmi-1 has been identified as a potent oncogene as it contributes to the transcriptional activation of genes implicated in early lymphoid development. Proviral activation of Bmi-1 expression corresponds to enhanced gene-specific activation of other proto-oncogenes, including c-Myc and Pim, subsequently resulting in the progression of lymphomagenesis.

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
